I have to admit that I had never heard of a barista before.  I looked it up, and I found a Starbucks website.  I imagine that's a pretty interesting job!:)

not nearly as interesting as teaching! but yes, quite interesting. and teaching has only added depth to the starbucks world as i sling coffee in the city i teach in. i actually am currently working w/the older sister of one of my former students so i get to keep an eye on him a little longer.  it also creates a place where my students know they can reach me outside of school and that has facilitated some conversations that needed to happen that wouldn't have happened at school. i try not to mini conference when their parents come in, as much as the parents might want to.  apparently, the barista gig adds to my cool factor as well;)

At our school, there are about six teachers who are baristas. Is that now a part of the teaching program at the universities?
